Description

Reclaiming the legacy of the Paris Commune for the twenty-first century, Kristin Ross's highly acclaimed work explores the thought and culture of the Communard uprising of 1871. Her analysis resonates with contemporary protest, which has found its most powerful expression in the reclamation of public space. Today's concerns - internationalism, education, the future of labor, the status of art, and ecological theory and practice - frame and inform Ross's restaging of the words and actions of individual Communards. This original work brings to life the workers who became revolutionaries, their struggle, and the elaboration and continuation of their thought in encounters with key figures like Marx, Kropotkin, and William Morris. The Paris Commune was a laboratory of political invention, where the "working existence" of its participants took centre stage. This book allows readers to revisit the intricate workings of an extraordinary experiment, shedding new light on the significance of this pivotal event in history.
